Combining her various interests, which include teaching, painting, herbal education, illustration, writing and Feng Shui, Caroline opened a business called, Caroline’s Arts and Feng Shui Shoppe located on the waterfront in Benicia, California in 1994. The location was chosen with Feng Shui Principles and was an immediate success. Overwhelmed with Feng Shui consultations and orders for murals and paintings based on the Five Element Themes, which include Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, in homes and businesses, she hired others to help with the shoppe. The space became a magnet for workshops, unexpected gatherings and guests from around the world. Her weekly newspaper column for the Benicia Herald called “West Meets East” was a hit in 1999, and continues to focus on Feng Shui advice, interviews with Masters or a humorous Feng Shui experience.

Her business continued to expand and Caroline became a valued speaker, advisor and consultant for businesses, corporations, government facilities, realtors and teaching institutions such as General Mills, three years teaching for Santa Clara Reading Council Conventions at Asilomar and a six-hour workshop for the 2002 American College of Surgeons 88th Clinical Congress in San Francisco. A valued client of many years, Acorn Product Development Company, based in California's Silicon Valley, continues to use Feng Shui principles in their facilities. They are North American Leaders in new product design/mechanical engineering. Over 50 companies in 2007, such as Apple, Cisco, Logitech and Siemens Medical rely on Acorn. Caroline advised them on the expanded facilities in Boston, such as location for their offices, using Feng Shui and Chi flow into the city, and evaluations of their China offices, ranging from color decisions to working with groups and individual employee needs. She updates her suggestions as the unique company continues to grow and succeed.

In 2003 Caroline and her family relocated to the Northwest San Juan Islands. She continues to practice Feng Shui and paint sacred art. Invited as a guest speaker to Yakima’s 2004 Central Washington Women’s Show in the Sundome, her booth was swamped with new faces during intermissions as she “mapped homes” using colored pens on their floor plans. She continues to be a spokesman for world peace by using the science of harmony and balance, one house at a time. Her ability for locating individual problems, such as financial and health issues related to design details and the environment, is key to her success. Radio and television appearances are another exciting way she has sparked a spirit in people! She is available upon request to educate people, such as CEO’s and employees, of their company’s potential, through city and corporate lectures, evaluating the companies, one family at a time.

I dedicate this website to Master Lin Yun, who named me Bo’Er Nai.
